Last time on Sonic X:
"Impressive? I do hope so." He asked as Sonic look out at the giant shape in front of them. "Allow me to introduce to you my latest battleship, the Egg Carrier 3." The darkness in front of them was now obvious a solid shape, with thousands of gleaming lights running over its surface. It seemed to fill the entire field of vision out of every window and then it was realized that the ship was rising from underneath them. "I pride myself on my engineering handiwork. This particular piece took my seven whole days none stop to design." Sonic smirked.
"You really need to get a life." He said with a wide grin. Eggman, on the other end of the line, shrugged his shoulders.
"Ok. Your's will do nicely." He ran his fingers over the key command console in front of him, all his teeth showing as his smile began to widen. "I can't imagine that dingy little sub of yours came compete with the firepower my vessel can produce." The statement was ominous through them all, confirmed as true when Bean tried to bring the Sub marine sharply around to starboard to avoid any attack, the actual vessel itself moving unbearably slow, certainly not enough speed to avoid a torpedo, which was exactly what Eggman had coming right up, the robotic crew down in firing room one already finished loading, the Fox Trot one in the evil mad man's cross heirs.
"So then, this is it. I'll truly miss our rivalry. So let me take a moment to remember it." Eggman breathed in deeply, sighing out through his mouth. "Alright that's long enough, bah-bye." There was a clicking sound as Eggman pressed a button and the water around the entire ship seemed to vibrate as a torpedo was fired from somewhere in front of them. Sonic's legendary speed could do little to help any of them now, and even with Bean at the helm, the Fox Trot 1 was slow in the water. They could see it now, streaming towards them as the Egg Carrier 3 continued to rise to the surface. Every instinct is Sonic's entire body was telling him to do something, preferably fast, but just what could he do? He was trapped inside here, along with everyone else.
It was then that he realized his greatest fear was about to come to pass. He was about to die at sea.
Episode 8: Rise of Giant Wing
There was a spilt second before the torpedo screaming in their faces exploded, not enough time to think rationally, but thinking rationally had never been Sonic's defining attribute. Without a single second of hesitation, he tried again the very same thing he had tried again onboard the space colony ARK, but had been too scared to try it again. Shadow made it look so easy, but for Sonic, one who was unused to the rippling power flowing through his body, it took a tremendous amount of concentration and willpower it order to pull it off.
The torpedo exploded. There was a green haze, and Eggman sneered as he saw his greatest foe disappear in a row of scorched metal.
--------------------------------
Egg Carrier 3 was by far the most powerful battleship the scientist had come up with. It's potential fire power even exceeding that of the downed Flagship of the Egg fleet and the was more than happy to reveal that as he opened fire on the three air craft carries as they tried to launch their robot piloted planes and then when that failed, their Beetle units came pouring out of hanger doors, massing like a thick storm of robotic insects. They never got a chance to launch an attack. Emerl Mrk 2 proved to be just as fast and deadly as it's predecessor. It's jump nearly made it fly through the air, spiralling down towards it's enemy. Many Beetle units tried to intercept it as it came only, only to have their entire frames ripped to pieces. Emerl was a robotic solider capable to dishing out several punches and kicks within a few seconds, and it managed to pull the entire stunt off while spinning in mid air.
It landed on the edge of the first air craft carrier with a loud thud, trailed one arm into the air, paused to gather strength, and then smashed a fist right down through the floor. The entire ship shook violently, and then after a single moment of silence, a cracked line lanced right down the middle of the ship, splitting it in half. As Emerl leapt up into the air again, the entire ship fell to two sides crashing into the ocean, sailors and navy officers jumping into the sea to save their lives.
"That robot just took out an entire air craft carrier with a single punch!" The president stated, eyes wide in horror. "Where's that blasted back up I was promised?!" Already, every G.U.N base within a radius of five miles was deploying as many battle mechanical walkers as they could, all heading directly for the President's co-ordinates.
The Sky deck section of the Egg Carrier 3 was basically it's top bottom, surface. It was a near forest of turrets and long metallic catwalks. It was the most busy place on the entire ship, with technician bots racing out ever five minutes to help fix any damage or repair any malfunctioning turrets.
A faint light flicked about several meters above the ground, before one by one, they manifested back into physical form, thrown violently forward onto a suspended catwalk underneath the belly of the ship, a very long drop below them. as the unstable chaos control warp began to dissipate, finally closing when Sonic's limp body fell slid out of it.
"That felt weird." Espio began, rubbing his back.
Sonic gasped, his breath coming out labour, dragging up his throat as he collapsed to the floor. Chaos Control was tiring enough without having to drag seven companions along with him. He had barley managed to teleport himself when Eggman had ejected from the ARK inside a space capsule, and even then he'd been left drained. This left much worse, like the energy he needed to survive had all but gone. If he hadn't been using the Crystal ring he had around his wrist, he'd be dead already. He couldn't even here the calls of the pink hedgehog kneeling beside him, or feel her hand on his back as he tried to stir him. He could feel his heart beat slowing down to a slow crawl. His eyes were growing dark and suddenly everything felt very cold. He wanted to pull himself into a ball for warmth by lacked the strength for it.
"Stand clear." Someone said as something smacked him on the back very hard, yet instead of causing pain something inside him jump started. Feeling returned to his limbs and now he could quite a lot of pain. Yelping he was on his feet in an instant, rubbing his back. Someone behind the blue hedgehog dared to giggle, until he turned around to give them a fierce glare.
"Ok, who's the wise guy?" He asked, narrowing an eye angrily. Bean crossed his arms.
"This wise guy just saved your ungrateful life." He shot back. Sonic gritted his teeth, still rubbing the stinging spot where the duck had smacked him up.
"Just where are we?" Rouge began, looking around for an explanation.
"You don't want the answer to that question." Tails replied, pocking his head out across the large metallic catwalk they had opened out from, staring down the entire length of the Egg Carrier 3 that nearly seemed to go one forever. The surface of the sea became a faint tinge of blue below them as thick, ugly black clouds of smoke beginning to thicken from the giant engines not too far above their heads.
"Hostile Units detected." Omega announced, twitching to humanoid as he righted himself up. "Fifty meters and closing." As if being heralded several flight capable DreadNaughts came swooping down from a large metal cargo bay door that opened up further down the catwalk. They'd been called out because the security motion sensors that picked up possible intruders on the technician walkways. As soon as they were outside, that report was confirmed as their targeting systems caught Sonic in their crosshairs.
"Ok, time to…" Before Sonic could even finish his sentence, his strength left him again and he was on his knees.
"Sonic are you ok?" Amy asked, trying to help him up again. Whatever boast he had momentarily gained had apparently worn of, leaving Sonic fatigued again.
"I've...certainly been...better!" he began to push out through gritted teeth as the Dreadnaughts swung around, already in attack mode. None of Dr. Eggman's robots ever took prisoners.
Omega's arms swung up and the very spit second they reached the right angle, streams of bullets coursed from his now parallel fingers. Riddling one of the robots with so any holes, part of it fell off and tumbled towards the sea, quickly followed by the rest of it.
"Ok people. New mission directive." Bark announced, pushing his way to the front as the remaining two Dreadnaughts paused, almost as if they were looking back at their fallen companion. "First we take care of these two, then we shut this ship down. Eggman's base can wait." An evil grin forced it; way onto Sonic's face.
"Fine, just give me a minute to recharge will ya?" Bark looked back toward him, gave a thumbs up over his shoulder, before turning and throwing himself through the air with impressive strength. The Dreadnaughts didn't even have a chance to move out of the way as the polar bear brought a fist straight across the head of one of them, knocking it clean off.
While Bark was busy tearing into them, Sonic was trying to recover the vital energy he'd lost, which was actually easier than it sounded. To use a Chaos Control teleport of that magnitude, he'd had to give quite a lot of his own energy up, so to recover it he had to create a loop hole within himself. This sounded complicated, and Sonic was sure Chuck would love to spend hours thinking up theories, but in truth the process of simple. Once a link was established between his own life force and the chaos energy that existed within him and well, feeling began to return to his empty limbs.
Bark was so busy finishing of one of them; he nearly didn't see the lunge coming at him from behind from a thick metal fist. As he turned to confront it, a metal hammer came flying out of nowhere, striking the robot across the face, knocking the entire thing backward. Amy caught her hammer on the rebound, heaved it into the air and proceeded to deal a series of swings directly into the torso and legs, trying to destroy any points to the limbs. The robot however withstood the blows, before bringing an arm around, knocking her pink hedgehog sideways over the balcony. Sonic tried to move, but found he still didn't have the strength. Just as she went over, a small metal ball with a chain attached shot out from nowhere, wrapped one end of itself around her leg, saving her from a very long fall down. Espio's hands held tightly to the other end.
"I've got her." He managed to say, finding that Amy was heavier than she looked.
"Come on Omega, let's leave these guys to it and complete the mission." Rouge said, motioning to the robot, before turning with her wings open, souring off down the catwalk away from them. Omega actually seemed to hesitate, before following. Sonic wasn't even conscious of their departure, he was nearly fully charged again. Just a few more seconds to go and then…his eyes shot open. The full green glow restored to his eyes. There, full power again.
Quickly he was back on his feet, helping Amy back over the edge.
"My hero…"Amy began with a coy smile. Sonic's eyebrows levelled.
"Let's not start that now." He added, before back flipping over the Dreadnaught and then coming straight through it in a spin attack, ripping out the wires and cables inside its metal body. "Maybe later though." He added with the slightest hint of s blush to his checks, before racing off.
"Doctor!" Decoe nearly screamed as soon as a report was sent forward to his console. "The Hedgehog's still alive, and on the ship!" Eggman nearly pole-vaulted out of his seat when the robotic henchman brought the report up on screen, showing a blue blur as it tore through a flying DreadNaught, knocking it out of the air. Sonic paused long enough to give a security camera a thumbs up, before smashing into it with a spin attack.
"I'm also counting another seven intruders on various decks. Three of them have been identified as E123: Omega, Amy Rose and Miles Prowler!" More screens showed the intruders dealing huge amounts of damage to the robotic security force unboard.
"What!" Eggman demanded; his mouth hung open as he saw the blue creature sour across the deck of his ship on another video feed, smashing through turrets with ease, tearing his way through any DreadNaught that got in his way. "I should have known it wouldn't have been that easy!" He snarled, smashing a fist into the side of his chair. Why was that rodent always in the way? Why couldn't he just be a good little hedgehog and die? It was time for Sonic to learn that full extent of Egg Carrier 3's destructive potential. "Oh that is the last straw." He snarled as Sonic ploughed through one of his largest turrets, several inactive fighter planes and trashed one technician bots as it raced out to attend to repairs. Eggman sat back down and ran his fingers over the small mesh of buttons on each arm rest, overriding safety protocols and engaging the weapon he'd installed, drawing on the power of the two chaos emeralds he'd tucked safely away inside the Egg Carrier 3's generator room.
"Emerl!" He snarled down a com link. "Get back here at once, you deal with my hedgehog problem and I'll finish off those G.U.N amateurs."
Two missiles took the large shutter door out of his frame, throwing it's smouldering remains into the room as Omega, quickly followed by Rouge, burst in. The Dreadnaughts inside turned to face them, but got showered with bullets before they could put up a decent fight, and a swift kick from Rouge finished them of. With now specific target in mind, everything that looked the slightest bit important became a target and within moments Omega had ever piece of machinery burning.
Just as Rouge was about to wrok her magic on the computer system, a booming voice called from the darkness at the back end of the chamber.
"I am Omicron." It stated before a giant metal hand flew out of the dark. A fist, five foot tall fist smashing straight into Omega, sending the robot flying into the wall. "You are Omega, E100 series prototype. Obsolete model." It added as a giant shape stepped forward, the ground shaking with each foot step. Rouge looked up at the metal giant with a huge armour chest plate, giant arms with huge talons. A ring of spikes around it's wrists. A small head, hidden just between two large metal spikes from ran out from the neckline. Omega, who'd been lying in a small pile of rubble for the last few moments, pushed a large metal sheet of him and stood up. This new robotic giant at least ten times his size.
"Rouge, carry out mission." E123 stated, Rouge looked at him, then at his giant adversary. At first glance, anyone might thing Omega was about to get every limb torn from his metal torso. But Rouge had seen Omega in battle and he was more than capable of taking care of himself against increasingly dangerous odds. Her wings spread and she was gone.
Omega's arms swung around in a 180 degree angle, firing round after round of bullets straight into Omicron's visual receptors, forcing the larger robot to let go. As is stumbled backwards, temporarily blinded, E123 took the opportunity to launch five missiles from his hidden launcher bays, each on striking Omicron across its large bulk. By now, its optics system was back online and the giant seemed ticked off.
The giant robots strength and fire power far superior to his own, Omega reverted to evasion tactics. Trying to circle around, avoiding to the fatal swings of the arms and the missile fire, trying to locate a weak spot. Eggman's robots usually had one somewhere, it was just a matter of hitting the right spot. Luckily however, Eggman had not made this robot faster than him. In fact, its movements were extremely slow. As if it was struggling against its own weight, which Omega knew he could work to his advantage.
As bullets filled the air, Rouge kept her head down as he tried to glide as low to the floor as possible.
Sonic put one foot in front of the other and came to a halt, a single android standing in his way.
A pair of glowing red eyes and a larger, blue one directly above them. Black armour rimmed by golden streaks, metal fists clenched at the android's sides. Three golden spikes running along it's head and similar spikes on his forearms and shins.
"Emerl!" Sonic began as the robot swung a punch forward. The blue hedgehog caught in the blow with his left hand, but left himself defenceless for the painful kick that that data android dealt straight to his stomach. Sonic was thrown backwards, his feet scrapping the floor.
That was one of Rouge's kicks, one of her best in fact, good enough to leave Sonic's entire arm feeling numb. This was Emerl alright, either that or his big brother. He shook it to regain feeling, before regaining a fighting stance. Emerl took the first move with one of Knuckles' punches, which Sonic dodged, bringing his leg down and across in a sweeping motion trying to knock the robots feet out from under him. Emerl simply jumped, swung his leg section around in a complete circle, finally landing a kick directly into Sonic's face. It felt like he'd been hit with a car going five hundred miles an hour and then came the floor. Sonic's breath was knocked out of him as he landed face first on the cold metal surface of the Egg Carrier 3's deck.
"Ok." He began, his voice muffled. "Let's try that again." He wiped his mouth as he pushed himself up, a patch of crimson on the back of his glove. Emerl's third eye glowed bright blue, before he came racing in with several punches. All of which Sonic managed to contour before head butting him, smashing a kick into his mid section and the while the robot was stunned, curved his body around in a spin that threw Emerl completely across the Egg Carrier 3's deck and out of sight.
Sonic knew better than to think that the robot would be finished off that easily, and kept on his guard, which was about all that saved him from another kick to the face as Emerl came at him from behind. Sonic caught the leg with both arm, turned and swung the entire robots body into the floor.
"You know, Cream never forgave you for turning on us like that." Sonic managed to say between torn out breaths as he paused to catch his breath. The robot looked up sharply for a second, Sonic was almost fooled into thinking in he was a mixture of shame, fear and compassion in those three eyes. Before that is, Emerl short forward and sent him flying to the floor with a super strong punch.
Hardly a fan for sucker punches, especially ones that cracked his teeth, Sonic's entire body spun around and he managed to deal two kicks to his chest, sending him flying into the air. Tapping into the small amount of power left in the crystal ring, the blue hedgehog leapt into the air, coming level with the android's body. He clenched both fists behind his head, before swinging both arms down hard. The blow sending him crashing into the Egg Carrier's deck.
As soon as he landed, Emerl rebounded catching Sonic completely by surprise. He Didn't even see the blow strike him across the head. All Sonic remembered after feeling a sharp pain on his forehead, was waking up back on the ground with Emerl standing over him, a fist held ready over his head. Sonic yelped and rolled to the side, avoiding a punch that cracked the Egg Carrier's deck. That could have been my head, the blue hedgehog realized just before Emerl swung another kick.
"You've been working out." Sonic groaned, dodging to the side at the last second, before retaliating with a flurry of kicks. Emerl easily managed to side step through them, before a fist came swinging down on top of Sonic's head. Sonic rebounded off the floor, his nose bleeding, swinging his entire body around to face the robot. His hands caught Emerl by the ankles, tossing him up into the air. The robot simply righted himself in mid fall and before Sonic could react, the robot aimed a clenched fist right at him and that fist flew right off his arm, connecting with Sonic's face in a moment, flooring him.
This being one of the many times during the fight he'd ended up on the floor, Sonic was by now, in a foul mood. Back flipping back to his feet as Emerl's hand flew back to it's normal position, Sonic leapt into the and with a flying kick sent Emerl spiralling off the side of the Egg Carrier. Sonic paused to catch his breath again as the robot disappeared. There was a small clicking sound and two metallic fists curved upwards from just beyond Sonic's line of sight and took hold of his arms. Sonic struggled to free himself, but the grip was unbreakable. Emerl's body rose up; his arms stretched outward, a pair of thrusters from his feet keeping him floating.
The hands dragged Sonic over to the edge, keeping him dangerous close to a fatal fall. Sonic couldn't get good enough friction on the floor to use his speed to push himself forward to safety. Emerl gestured lightly with his arms and the hands tossed the blue hedgehog over the edge. There was a short as he fell and then he disappeared.
Emerl's hands returned to their arms and the robot lowered himself back down to the deck. Pausing only briefly, he walked over to the side of the deck to make sure that he had accomplished his mission. As soon as he stuck his head over the edge, Sonic came rocketing upwards in a super spin, knocking Emerl head over heals.
"You're going to have to do a lot better than that." The blue hedgehog remarked as he straightened himself up. The robot stared at him silently as it's entire bvody twisted it different directions, on it's feet in no time.
"Emerl." Doctor Eggman's voice began to buzz in the Emerl's ear piece all of a sudden. "Get away from the cannon point. I can't afford to have you blown up right now." The roobt looked back to see exactly we he and Sonic were on the Egg Carrier, and he found that they was dangerous close to the front tip of the ship. Sonic paused, noticing that for the first time, Emerl wasn't paying attention to the fight, leaving himself completely open to attack. Sonic tried to take advantage of the moment, but Emerl proved too agile, evading the intending kick by stepping to the side and then back flipping to a safe distance.
Sonic felt like every bone in his body was near its breaking point, yet somehow he managed to keep a fighting stance.
Emerl simply stared the blue hedgehog, all three of his eyes glowing bright red, before he somersaulted over Sonic, and raced off at speeds rivalling those Sonic could run at. Becoming a blazing black blur.
"Get back here!" Sonic shouted, before racing after him.
Several missiles projected from a concealed launcher behind Omicron's chest plate, striking the ground where Omega had been a moment ago.
Omicron's small head pivoted round, its target gone from its scopes. Eggman had designed Omicron for overwhelming power and strength. However he had forgotten to give the giant any tactical and strategic intelligence. And so it failed to notice Omega come down sharply from above, sinking it's talons into the back of its head. Omicron felt the sting and tried to reach around to pry the smaller robot off, but it's arms were too large and bulky, incapable to bending enough. It managed however to thrash around a lot and Omega nearly busted a circet breaker in his arm trying to hold on.
He drew one arm upward and slammed it down, his talons sank into the metal armour, tearing it open. Revealing Omicron's brain, an entangled mess of wires and cables and below them, dozens of large oiled gears all churning together with a loud groan echoing up through the hole. The giant thrashed about, trying to shake Omega of it, but by now it was too late. Omega fired two missiles down into its body, before leaping off as a pillar of flame shot back up through it. Omicron's body stopped moving and then shock violently, shattering its right arm to flaming metallic pieces.
Omicron wavered for a moment, before crashing to the floor, becoming a piled heap of flaming wreckage. Omega straightened himself up, standing amongst the flames, holding one large metal hand up in victory.
Obsolete indeed, he though to himself, his large red eyes staring down at the burnt remains of Omicron's head, before sliding into mobile mode and gliding off.
